La taupe et les papillons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

La taupe et les papillons (The Mole and the Butterflies) is an opera by the French composer Étienne Méhul. It takes the form of a comédie lyrique in one act. The libretto is by Ange-Étienne-Xavier Poisson de La Chabeaussière. Composed in 1797–1798, it was due to be staged at the Théâtre Montansier in 1799 but political censorship meant the opera was never performed.[1]
